I spent 12 days in the Bush of the Serengeti -mostly shooting the big cats and the other traditional animals - but when ever a chance came up I got some fun bird shots - there are so many different kinds I could have spent the entire trip shooting them - here are a few-

grey crown crane - one of my favorite
